I am guessing this contest entry is about a lost love, either to death or separation. I am guessing separation from a few lines. I enjoyed reading. The flow of this poem is very good. Good luck with the contest.

    Thank you for the 5 star review. This poem is actually reflecting on my mom, she passed away almost 20 years ago, but I still think of her often.

    Thank you for the positive review and the 5 star rating. Funny how different cultures and countries perceive things. This was a great reminder for me that I have to think of how other countries interpret/understand some of our written words. Diversity is what makes us human. Continued success with your writing.

This is a lovely poem of remembrance. It's strange the little details that aid in our memory of one who left us behind. Seeing them in your poem starts to make a picture of your loved one. I'm glad you explained "twoonie." Good luck in the contest.

This is a beautiful entry for the No Rules Poetry Contest. I just lost my mother a year ago so this brought up a lot of feelings. Your last line is so true and I am grateful that I did have well spent time with her and now I hold those memories close. good luck in the contest. Nice work.

    Sorry to hear of your loss, it's always tough. This poem was an ode to mine and it's been twenty years. I wish I was better at writing light-hearted fare as you are

Excellent entry to the contest. Brings back memories of my father and when he used to give some coins and sometimes notes to his grandchildren when they left after visiting. It is a habit that has flowed through to myself.
Loved the poem and the image. A lot of wisdom in the writing. All the best in the contest.
Regards
Barry Penfold.

    Thank you so much for the high praise and 5 star rating of my poem. It's funny how some of the memories, although obscure remain. I'm not sure about "wisdom", but thank you.

My mom died when I was ten years old, I still miss her too.

It's hard to go through a a lost like that, I can relate.

Well done

You have done a good job at this 'no rules" poetry contest. You have some memorable lines in this poem:

"Wanting more is a feeling that may never relent."

"Should have shared more, should have made the time!" This line is a feeling for many people who lament what more could have been done (cold have should have). Unfortunately some carry it as a guilt.

Good memories will have to suffice but sometimes, in my opinion, "good" memories make me sad for the pleasant moments not being there anymore. Whatever it is, good memories are always welcome.

    Thank you for your wonderful comments and 5 star rating of my poem. You make a great point, good memories have a very melancholy feel when we reflect on loved ones that have passed. When I write poetry, which I fumble with, I try to leave the piece for some interpretation. Thanks again.

An excellent poem for entry into the contest.
It is an easy read and a nice even flow and pace.
It is full of love and some sorrow for not sharing more and giving more time.
Thank you and good luck.

    Thank you for the high praise and 5 star rating of my poem. I don't delve into poetry often, for fear of looking like an idiot! It seems that this one was well received.
